Last week, Will, Felix, and Bryan talked about the atrocity that is the new Jerry Seinfeld brainchild “Unfrosted.” A shitty movie about poptarts. I guess. Haven’t seen it, and I don’t plan on it!
In the episode at one point Bryan (IIRC) talks about Gottfried going on Howard Stern’s show and doing a spot on impression of Jerry for a long time and having it record onto Seinfeld’s personal home voicemail tape recorder (this was in the 90s I believe).
Well, thanks to the creepy YouTube algo, here you go. This was in my mental backlog of “things I want to search for, but will never remember to actually do so.” Thanks, Google. (Unironically for once)
It’s a pretty humorous little bit. Gottfried’s impression was dead on like Bryan said. Them mocking Jerry about stuff he actually whines about (like people eating at his shows) is gold though. I wish someone would ask Jerry about this and see if he reacts at all. Maybe Bill Burr can throw it in one of his little jabs he takes at people. Jerry would probably be fuming but unable to say anything because then he’d be the “poor sport” or whatever.
Anyway, fuck Jerry Seinfeld. I hope Gottfried is haunting him somehow.
Holy Christ that was a portal straight back to 2004 when my nerdy-ass high school friend would blab on about html. I remember I was helping him write some game for a TI-83. Truly a wormhole.
Old enough to remember cassette tapes, young enough to not know how to operate a tape recorder voicemail.
2004 was 20 years ago
